They do have a playoff seed locked up. That was the goal. Getting the 6th seed instead of the 7th and playing KP and Curry on back to back accomplishes what exactly? And Rick doesn’t decide on load management lmao. That’s an organizational decision with input from the medical staff. The team is missing KP, Powell, Curry, and Brunson and Luka is playing with one hand. Health should definitely be the #1 priority.Maximizing our draft assets doesn't hurt either. Right now we'd enter the draft with #18 + #31. That would give us some nice options in all kinds of directions. Select two guys with fairly high picks, move down, maybe even up into the late lottery by combining the selections.
Personally I'd prefer a 7th seed + the 18th pick over a 5th seed by a wide margin.
Besides the Clippers there's no team that I absolutely would not want to face. Denver/LAL would both be fun matchups.
